Conroe, Texas · By Appointment Only
Houston’s Private Classic Car Collection
Eight privately owned classics — and five of them, three red, one yellow, one white, form the travelling exhibition. They are available for one thing only: to be looked at, photographed, and remembered. Weddings, proposals, brand shoots, and private exhibitions across the Houston area.
The House Rule
These are collector cars, not rentals with a steering wheel. Every booking is a static exhibition: the cars arrive by trailer, are placed by our crew, and stay exactly where they are placed — engines cold, keys with our staff — for the entire event.
That single rule is what keeps them immaculate, and it is written into every agreement we sign. You get the photograph, the backdrop, the moment. The cars keep their condition.
No guest drives, sits behind the wheel on the move, or hears an engine turn over. The cars are exhibited pieces — full stop.
Each car travels on our trailer and is positioned by hand at your venue, home, studio, or estate.
A member of our team stays with the cars from placement to collection, so hosts and photographers never have to think about them.
Pose beside them, shoot around them, build your set around them. That is precisely what they are there for.
The Collection
What you see is what arrives. The five below are the exhibition lineup, drawn from a private collection of eight — three more rotate in by season and request, and you will meet the first of them further down this page. Every portrait of the exhibition five is one of the actual cars — no stand-ins. Where a car from the wider collection is pictured with reference photography, the caption says so, plainly.
No. 1 — The Icon
Torch red with a white porthole hardtop, wire wheels, and wide whitewalls. The definitive American two-seater of the fifties, and the most requested car in the collection for weddings and editorial shoots.
Delivered display — from $895 / 2 hrs · +10% insurance fee
No. 2 — The Pair, First
Red over white with a gold side sweep and towering tailfins. One of a matched pair — book them together as bookends to an aisle, an entrance, or a stage.
Delivered display — from $895 / 2 hrs · +10% insurance fee
No. 3 — The Pair, Second
The second of the pair, shown from the rear — white deck, red cockpit, and chrome for days. Together the two Fairlanes frame a photograph like nothing else on the road, because they are never on it.
Delivered display — from $895 / 2 hrs · +10% insurance fee
No. 4 — The Showpiece
Yellow, open-cockpit, all chrome and attitude — the loudest-looking car in the collection, and on display it says everything without making a sound. A favorite for brand shoots and bold couples.
Delivered display — from $895 / 2 hrs · +10% insurance fee
No. 5 — The Send-Off
The modern classic of the five — white over black, top down on request. Most often booked as the send-off car: the last photograph of the night, staged at the door as guests gather round.
Delivered display — from $895 / 2 hrs · +10% insurance fee
In Rotation
Three more cars rotate into the exhibition by season and request. The first of them needs no introduction to anyone who grew up on late-eighties Japanese sports cars:
In Rotation — The Rotary
Black over black — the lone Japanese classic in the collection, and the only rotary engine Mazda ever offered in a production convertible. A late-eighties counterpoint to all that fifties chrome, and the car younger collectors ask about first.
Delivered display — from $895 / 2 hrs · +10% insurance fee

Two further cars from the collection join the rotation as the season turns — tell us your date, and we will tell you what is available.
Rates & Experiences
Every rate includes trailer delivery, placement by our crew, and supervision for the duration of the booking.
One car, delivered and exhibited at your venue, home, dealership, or event. Two-hour minimum, extendable by the hour. The foundation of everything we do.
At our Conroe forest estate: pick any three cars from the exhibition five, staged among the oaks for portraits and ceremony backdrops — the session couples and photographers build the whole album around.
A private, staffed staging of the cars for the moment itself — proposal setups, milestone anniversaries, and once-in-a-lifetime surprises.
The white Porsche 911 Convertible placed at the exit for the farewell photograph — the final frame of the evening, with the couple beside the car as guests send them off.
Cars as set pieces for advertising, editorial, product launches, and content production, with our crew on set throughout.
A full-day corporate exhibition — client events, VIP hospitality, and company celebrations staged around the collection.
At White Sand River Bend: a long table set in a ring around two centerpiece cars — the Thunderbird and the T-bucket — beneath the oaks, with round tables gathered round. Dinner in a forest clearing, the cars at its heart.
A 10% insurance fee is added to the car rate on every booking and shown as its own line on your quote. Transport is quoted by distance. All bookings are confirmed with a written agreement and a 50% deposit — see how booking works below.
The Flagship
Our signature commission: the collection exhibited among the oaks at White Sand River Bend — a private 71-acre oak forest estate on the river in Conroe, Texas. No showroom, no rope line, no public hours. One party, one forest, four classics under the canopy.
The cars are trailered into a natural clearing beneath red and white oaks and arranged as an outdoor gallery — four of the collection, chosen with you: red paintwork against deep green shade, a flash of yellow where the light breaks through, white at the path’s edge. Guests move between the cars the way they would between pieces in a private museum, except the ceiling is a hundred feet of oak canopy and the floor is grass and white sand.
It is the only booking we offer where the setting is ours as much as the cars are. The estate hosts a limited number of these exhibitions each season, and the forest is never open to the public — when your event ends, the gates close behind you.
Booking
We take bookings by email only — it keeps every detail of your date, venue, and cars in one written thread, with no surprises on the day.
Email your date, venue or city, and which cars you have in mind. We reply with availability and a written quote.
A short written agreement sets out the cars, hours, and the static-display terms. A 50% deposit confirms your booking.
On the day, the cars arrive by trailer, are placed and supervised by our team, and are collected when your event ends.
Choose an experience and the cars you’re considering — this opens a pre-written email in your mail app. Nothing is sent until you press send.
